❔ ✅ Prints System.Func`1[System.Int32] instead of actual int.

I'm trying to return a private field member variable and instead of giving me the actual integer value it gives me the thing in the title. Please help.

Please share your code

This is in program.cs (the default class)

using ObjectAndClasses;

food meat = new food("meat", 4);
food spaghetti = new food("spaghetti",3);

spaghetti.eat();
meat.eat();
Console.WriteLine("\n-----------------------------------------\n");
Console.WriteLine("Press \"1\" to stop eating.");
string UserInput = Console.ReadLine();

if (UserInput.Equals("1"))
{
    meat.stop();
    spaghetti.stop();
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Food eaten indefinitely");
}

meat.info();
spaghetti.info();

Console.WriteLine("The name of my food is " + spaghetti.getName);

using ObjectAndClasses;

food meat = new food("meat", 4);
food spaghetti = new food("spaghetti",3);

spaghetti.eat();
meat.eat();
Console.WriteLine("\n-----------------------------------------\n");
Console.WriteLine("Press \"1\" to stop eating.");
string UserInput = Console.ReadLine();

if (UserInput.Equals("1"))
{
    meat.stop();
    spaghetti.stop();
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Food eaten indefinitely");
}

meat.info();
spaghetti.info();

Console.WriteLine("The name of my food is " + spaghetti.getName);

This is food.cs (the class I created)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ObjectAndClasses
{
    internal class food
    {

        //member variables
        private string _name;
        private int _heal;

        //constructor method
       public food(string name, int heal = 0)
        {
            _name = name;
            _heal = heal;
            Console.WriteLine("\nA new food called "+ _name + " was created!");
        }

        //member methods
        public void eat()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nEating {0}!", _name);
            Console.WriteLine("\nIt healed {0} healthpoint(s)!", _heal);
        }

        public void stop()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nStopped eating {0}!",_name);
        }
        
        public void info()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nThe food {0} heals {1} hp.",_name,_heal);
        }

        public string getName()
        {
            return _name;
        }
    }   
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ObjectAndClasses
{
    internal class food
    {

        //member variables
        private string _name;
        private int _heal;

        //constructor method
       public food(string name, int heal = 0)
        {
            _name = name;
            _heal = heal;
            Console.WriteLine("\nA new food called "+ _name + " was created!");
        }

        //member methods
        public void eat()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nEating {0}!", _name);
            Console.WriteLine("\nIt healed {0} healthpoint(s)!", _heal);
        }

        public void stop()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nStopped eating {0}!",_name);
        }
        
        public void info()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nThe food {0} heals {1} hp.",_name,_heal);
        }

        public string getName()
        {
            return _name;
        }
    }   
}

and even with the name my problem is that it returns a func something string i changed it a bit to test it with the name

Note that your output is "My food meat heals...", but the code has "The food meat heals...". Are you sure you're running your latest code?

TopN•13mo ago

yeah i know i changed it a bit This is still what it gives out with a string now for the last code i gave u

canton7•13mo ago

That's not helpful. Please make sure that the code and error you give us actually match up

TopN•13mo ago

Alright Here, let me give you the previous code i used for the picture Program.cs

canton7•13mo ago

Anyway, getName it a method. You need to call it: getName()

TopN•13mo ago
